THE PLAYTHINGS PAST MUSEUM TRUST

The museum of childhood is located at the National Trust property of Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire and this is where the trust promotes and maintains its collectable objects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
